Amitabh Bachchan The Prime Icon

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,January 26 2013]

Recently the Shahehshah of B-town Amitabh Bachchan added one more feather to his well plummeted cap.. The megastar reportedly was honoured with the title India's Prime Icon by a TV show.

Bit surprised with the honour, Big B tweeted, Prime Icon??!! Gosh that is far too far fetched for me ... and to have Sachin (Tendulkar), Lataji (Lata Mangeshkar), Aamir, SRK, Modi (Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi), Nitish (Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar)... as contenders.

However Bachchan is feeling quite elated and thanked actresses Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma for felicitating him with the award. Honoured and humbled that Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma take time out to present me India's Prime Icon of 2012, had written Big B.
